As investigators release video of a teen suspected of firing shots at a recreation center on Wednesday, they're also dealing with two more shootings involving teens overnight.
The first incident happened at around 2 a.m. in the 1700 block of West Huntingdon Street in North Philadelphia. A young man was shot to death in front of a church.
"We heard the gunshots. About two or three gunshots," said one neighbor.
First responders found a young man lying on the sidewalk. He'd been shot twice at the head, police say, likely at close range. Moments before being shot, the victim had been walking with the two people who are suspected of shooting him.
The three are seen on the real-time crime cameras operated by the Philadelphia Police Department.
"The two shots were fired and then the two males the victim were walking with are then seen running," said Chief Inspector Scott Small of the Philadelphia Police Department.
The only description police have of the two suspects in Friday morning's shooting on Huntingdon Street is that they were males in dark clothing wearing gloves and masks.
Police think the victim was in his mid-to-late teens. It's the latest incident this week putting young people in the middle of violence.
On Wednesday, five people were shot, including four children, at Christy Rec Center in West Philadelphia. It's a crime that shook Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. He addressed the incident while speaking at an event on Friday.
"I've got to tell you, that really hit me in the heart," said Shapiro (D - Pennsylvania). "I've been to the Christy Rec Center. My kids and I went there and we played basketball."
New video from police shows a person who investigators say is the suspected shooter. He flees the scene and ducks into an alley to change his clothes.

Police describe the suspected shooter as being between 15 and 18 years old.
Prior to the shooting, he was wearing a dark t-shirt and dark shorts. After the shooting, he changed into a white tank top, dark blue shorts, high white socks and white sneakers. He was carrying a Nike backpack and has shoulder-length dreadlocks.
The incidents involving teens are disheartening to residents concerned about the youth.
"It's a different generation," said one resident who spoke to Action News. "Back then, you would go out there and fight. Now, you know, people (are) shooting."
Overnight, two teens were injured in a different shooting. The boys, ages 16 and 17, showed up at the Emergency Room at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.
Police towed away a car that the teens were believed to have been driving. Its back windows were shattered.
"It's really sad what's happening in the community with violence," said Kenyatta McKinney of North Philadelphia.
The three violent incidents this week have a common thread: all involve young people.
McKinney, who is a teacher and coach, wants to see a change for Philadelphia's youth.
"If you put them in a positive environment, things can change," he said. "Expose them to more positive activities. That's what I think can help."
